Former Obama White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley has ripped into former Alaska governor Sarah Palin in an op-ed in the Washington Post entitled, “The GOP’s dysfunction all started with Sarah Palin.”

Daley, brother of former Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley, was pushed out of the White House after a year and later mounted an abortive run for Illinois governor. Now, he has emerged from the wilderness with an unprovoked political attack on Palin.

The timing of the attack might seem odd. Palin is not running for office, nor does she hold office. The news “hook” is a comment by Republican frontrunner Donald Trump to the effect that Palin is “a special person” that he might appoint to his Cabinet.

Actually, Trump could do far worse. Palin has a strong grasp of the delicate balance between fossil fuel development and environmental stewardship. She would be a good choice for Secretary of the Interior. (read much more at Breitbart)
